A few Sourcing tips from them:

 

Your most valuable sourcing method is Site: So ???..

 

For AOL Hometowns use the Site:hometown.aol.com

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Ahometown.aol.com+resume

 

Same for Windows Live: Site:spaces.live.com (add info

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Aspaces.Live.com+resume

 

LinkedIN: Site:linkedin.com

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=site%3Alinkedin.com+information+architect&spell=1

 

It is better if you build the string in altavista (advanced) as opposed to google.

 

Happy Hunting :)
